Kail finally gets slit with one of
|
||
|
||
Jackal’s cards.
|
||
|
||
“I’ve had enough of you humans!
|
||
|
||
Prepare to suffer!” Jackal yells.
|
||
|
||
The entire terrain gets a bluish tint
|
||
|
||
to it. Veronica warps away, and everyone
|
||
|
||
begins to float off the ground. Synan looks
|
||
|
||
up and sees a faint shimmering glow from
|
||
|
||
above. They are underwater. Zoe, Synan,
|
||
|
||
and Kail swim upward toward to the surface.
|
||
|
||
The surface only gets further and further away
|
||
|
||
from them.
|
||
|
||
Synan finally runs out of air. He
|
||
|
||
soon realizes that he can breathe under the
|
||
|
||
water. Zoe and Kail soon realize too. They
|
||
|
||
can also speak perfectly under the water.
|
||
|
||
“Let’s get to the exit!” Zoe yells.
|
||
|
||
“This way!” Synan says. Zoe, Synan,
|
||
|
||
and Kail swim along the dark path under the
|
||
|
||
water. The path just comes to an end, nothing
|
||
|
||
ahead but more odd-shaped mountains.
|
||
|
||
“The exit isn’t here!” Zoe yells. Kail
|
||
|
||
swims over to Synan.
|
||
|
||
“Synan. I know how to use the Dark
|
||
|
||
Stone. Since we both have one, we should
|
||
|
||
stand a pretty good chance against Jackal.”
|
||
|
||
“How do you use it?”
|
||
|
||
Kail touches Synan’s forehead. Synan
|
||
|
||
soon gets a golden flame around him.
|
||
|
||
“Wow... how did you do that?”
|
||
|
||
“I made you power up to a mega-monster.”
|
||
|
||
“How?”
|
||
|
||
“You are not meant to learn how to do
|
||
|
||
it yourself yet.”
|
||
|
||
“How do you know that?” Synan asks.
|
||
|
||
Kail powers up and flies through the
|
||
|
||
water back toward Jackal. Synan follows.
|
||
|
||
“Okay, then I guess I’ll wait here then...”
|
||
|
||
Zoe says.
|
||
|
||
Synan and Kail begin fighting Jackal.
|
||
|
||
Synan notices that Kail has the same fighting pattern
|
||
|
||
as him.
|
||
|
||
A portal opens up behind Zoe. Two hands
|
||
|
||
pull her through. A dark flash flies out of the portal
|
||
|
||
and abducts Synan and Kail. The portal closes.
|
||
|
||
Veronica stands with Zoe, Synan, and
|
||
|
||
Kail.
|
||
|
||
“Great job you little jerks! You just
|
||
|
||
pissed off Jackal!” Veronica says.
|
||
|
||
“Is that a bad thing?” Zoe says.
|
||
|
||
“You bet it is! Listen, I don’t want any
|
||
|
||
of you to get hurt. Kail: Go back to the future.
|
||
|
||
You were not meant to be here. Synan and
|
||
|
||
Zoe: Go back to your own dimension.”
|
||
|
||
“But we need the Star Stone! We
|
||
|
||
cannot go back untill we have it under our
|
||
|
||
posession!” Synan says.
|
||
|
||
“Screw the Star Stone!”
|
||
|
||
Synan and Zoe float up into the air and
|
||
|
||
soon vanish. They appear in the Warp Room.
|
||
|
||
“She can’t do that to us!” Synan yells.
|
||
|
||
“The book! We can get back!” Zoe says.
|
||
|
||
Zoe runs to the book pedestal. Nothing is there.
|
||
|
||
The cave begins to rumble. Small drops
|
||
|
||
of lava drip down the small hole in the ceiling.
|
||
|
||
“We have no choice, Zoe. We have to
|
||
|
||
go through the portal.”
|
||
|
||
The silvery vortex flickers on and off
|
||
|
||
for a while and then stays on for a little longer.
|
||
|
||
“The portal is closing. We have to go
|
||
|
||
now!” Synan yells.
|
||
|
||
Zoe and Synan jump into the portal
|
||
|
||
just before it shuts down for good. They soon
|
||
|
||
arrive back in the Gap.
|
||
|
||
Unamed is here waiting for them.
|
||
|
||
“Unamed! I’m glad to see you!” Zoe
|
||
|
||
says.
|
||
|
||
“You better be. I haven’t seen any of
|
||
|
||
you at all.”
|
||
|
||
“What do you mean? You guided us
|
||
|
||
yesterday.” Zoe says.
|
||
|
||
“Oh, no. That must’ve been another
|
||
|
||
Unamed.”
|
||
|
||
“So, will you guide us back?” Synan
|
||
|
||
says.
|
||
|
||
“Ahem...”
|
||
|
||
Synan and Zoe are silent.
|
||
|
||
“I will be the guide on your way,
|
||
|
||
But coming back, I won’t play.
|
||
|
||
If to the other side you wish to go,
|
||
|
||
Then follow me and don’t be slow!”
|
||
|
||
Unamed begins to hover away from
|
||
|
||
them. Zoe and Synan follow closely. As they
|
||
|
||
walk down one twisting tunnel, Zoe looks back
|
||
|
||
and sees the squid-like monster. Probably the
|
||
|
||
same one that annihilated Clawz.
|
||
|
||
“Synan...” Zoe tugs on his shirt.
|
||
|
||
“What?”
|
||
|
||
The monster flies past them and stabs
|
||
|
||
Zoe, then continues flying.
|
||
|
||
“Ahhhhh!!!” Zoe screams in pain. She
|
||
|
||
was stabbed in the left shoulder. Unamed just
|
||
|
||
continues flying forward.
|
||
|
||
“We have to get going before we get
|
||
|
||
lost!” Synan yells. Zoe slides down the side
|
||
|
||
of the tunnel.
|
||
|
||
“I can’t get up. I’m paralyzed.”
|
||
|
||
Synan picks up Zoe and runs to
|
||
|
||
catch up with Unamed. They soon reach the
|
||
|
||
other side of the Gap.
|
||
|
||
Sarah greets them in the Warp Room.
|
||
|
||
“Welcome back! Veronica told me
|
||
|
||
you were returning.” Sarah says. James stands
|
||
|
||
in a cold shadowy corner and watches.
|
||
|
||
“Zoe got stabbed by a squid!” Synan
|
||
|
||
says.
|
||
|
||
“Oh... the squid... It’s name is Snip.”
|
||
|
||
“Yeah, I bet. We have to help her
|
||
|
||
immediately!”
|
||
|
||
“This way!” Sarah takes Zoe and
|
||
|
||
warps through the book. Synan watches as
|
||
|
||
James vanishes into a cloud of dust. Synan
|
||
|
||
follows them through the book.
|
||
|
||
“Will she be okay?” Synan asks.
|
||
|
||
“I cannot be sure...” Sarah replies.
